Breaking News: 33 Republican Resignations in the US House of Representatives! We need a progressive Democratic Congress to ensure a Democratic President will have progressive legislation to sign into law. Click Here to Read More The Democratic Advancement Political Action Committee (DAPAC) is a unique progressive political action committee that targets Republican-held seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and helps “new progressive” Democratic candidates run and win in those districts. All of our elected members of Congress from the last cycle have voted progressively on the issues. No other Democratic organization comes close to having a record as progressive as ours. Last cycle we evaluated and screened 221 candidates for Congressional seats. Only 18 candidates met our progressive criteria and were willing to run serious campaigns. Fifteen of them won their primaries, and six are now serving in Congress. This brought our total number of DAPAC-endorsed members of Congress up to eight. This cycle, we are aggressively working to get progressive candidates running in our 33 Republican-held targeted districts. There is much to celebrate concerning progressive politics in America. With the Democrats taking back both houses of Congress, there is now a flood of strong progressive Democrats interested in running for the House of Representatives and riding the wave of success that Democrats forged in 2006. Currently, there is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm for people interested in running progressive campaigns. The pool of serious candidates running in Democratic Congressional primaries is stronger than it has been in recent memory—affording DAPAC to be more selective in choosing who to endorse. We are being extremely cautious by doing a vast amount of research on each candidate in our targeted districts to ensure that an endorsement from DAPAC means that the candidate is truly progressive on all the issues and will run a serious campaign. The Democratic candidates whom we are recruiting and preparing to endorse and support will run on positive progressive values. They will pledge, in writing, to: Be 100% Pro-Choice. Support Strong Gay and Lesbian Unions, Marriages, and Civil Rights. Support Strong Environmental Protection. Support Working Family Rights, Rebuilding the Middle Class, and Unions' Right to Organize. Support Honest and Democratic Markets and Businesses (No More Crony Capitalism). Support Publicly Funded Universal Health Care. Oppose the Patriot Act. Oppose the Iraq War. Oppose the Death Penalty. Take the time now! Click here and help DAPAC make the next election a success.
